“I think they should have shot her in the leg.”

No, they should have put her down immediately. You don’t shoot terrorists in the legs. A real terrorist would have had enough time to set off the explosives. Don’t forget, they are willing to die during the act - oblige them.

Interestingly, I searched “MIT” and nothing came up.

I think there is a four character minimum on search word length. A list of "stop words", such as "the" "and", etc., would probably serve the purpose better.

Actually, I agree with you.

The first thing I thought of is that she made it inside the airport with this fake device on. If it had been real, she could have killed thousands of people before anyone even realized she was in there.

but honestly, some of the smart people who get in there have no common sense

Not just there. It does seem that some people are gifted with brains and no sense. But isn't the Darwinian idea that these folks won't be able to survive? She doesn't even have the sense to know how close she came to not being here anymore.

I think people confuse “crazy looking electronics” with “bomb” way too much.

For sure. It's the Hollywood effect. Real bommbs don't tick or have flashing lights. They just blow you to bits before you know what hit you.

See if you can spot the bomb in this video.

Doesn’t look anything like a bomb to me, more like a breadboard taped to a sweatshirt. I think people confuse “crazy looking electronics” with “bomb” way too much.

I could almost give this one a pass except for the Play Doh on the hands.

Funny you should mention that. Check out my “home page” for a little insight into survival of the fittest.

Have a great weekend.

Woulda been a shame to shoot something that nice. But hey! I thought you had to be bright to get into MIT!

A deputy sheriff in Southern California made the funniest (obvious) comment a few years ago, when several carsful of Cal-Tech students were stranded after going up a mountain road that was closed due to excess snow. They were on a mission of a halloween prank:

"Being labeled 'genius' is no assurance of common sense!"

Engineers don’t get art!

MIT needs to boot this girl and send her to Art school. She Makes MIT look stupid for enrolling her.
